Tips to take 10 years off your looks

Makeup can make or break your look & these tips will help avoid adding years to your look... TIP 1 - Curl your lashes Curling your lashes before you apply your mascara will open up your eyes. As we age, our eyelashes thin out & straighten. Curling them also helps to maintain their previous shape. TIP 2 - Apply mascara from the roots When applying, always begin at very base of lashes. It is a common mistake to only coat the tips, & this weighs down lashes making them droop. Lifting from the roots allows for even coverage, & thickens & defines. Also, be sure to coat the top of the lashes too - they can have the tendency to look like a dusty shelf if forgotten. TIP 3 - Add moisture! The more hydrated your skin, the younger it will seem. Always moisturise morning & night, & don't overpowder. TIP 4 - Choose a light base Foundation is not a mask! Foundation should let your skin show through & enhance your natural beauty, not have to be taken off with a chisel! Stay away from pink or beige tone foundation, as this can be aging. A hint of yellow based warms the complexion. Choose a liquid or cream for a more 'dewy' finish. Apply with a foundation brush - this gives a more airbrushes appearance, & is also significantly more hygenic than your fingers, & will save wastage when using a sponge. After application with the brush, dab a little on the brush & pat onto any dark spots or blemishes until blended. TIP 5 - Use brown instead of black Choose brown or brown/black instead of jet black, especially for daytime. Brown tones define the eyes, & create as much impact as black, without looking harsh. TIP 6 - Use a lip plumper Don't apply your lip pencil outside your natural lip line. Use a lip plumper. Apply to your lips before you apply your colour, they contain plumping agents such as collagen & hyaluronic acid, & these help to puff your pout. TIP 7 - Go for rosy glow The most flattering shade as we age is a warm, rosy tone. Use one that is a shade or two deeper than your natural lip colour. TIP 8- Soften & SMILE As we age, the corners of our lips can droop, making us look sad :( To soften this, apply your lip liner & lipstick just short of where your lips begin to turn down. When applying your lipstick, use a lipstick brush & smile. This stretches out the lip creases, & your lip colour will be applied evenly & give a smoother finish. And now you look GORGEOUS <3
